Création de la leçon...
1
How much of one's life is a result of their past karma?
2
Are the injustices and unfairnesses that one faces in one's life a result of their past karma?
3
If so, do you accept these injustices and find solace in the fact that, okay, the karma is being cleared,
4
even though it might seem detrimental to our lives in so many ways?
5
Samantha, you're old enough for this.
6
I'm not saying you're old, I said you're old enough that, do you still expect the world to be fair to you?
7
That's why I'm asking this question .
8
Can I blame it on my past karma is what I'm asking.
9
I want the world to be fair to me is a school girl question.
10
By now you should know the world is not fair, it will not be fair to you.
11
But if you dig deep into yourself and have a taste of life,
12
not a taste of your thought and emotion, the taste of life that you are, then you will see life is not just fair, it's It's just fantastic.
13
So do you want fair life or fantastic life?
14
You must decide.
15
I've noticed this, that beyond the material ego, there is now suddenly a widespread… Who's this ego guy, your friend?
16
It's all around me .
17
And in my industry, the heights of it.
18
So beyond the material ego, I've noticed there's now widespread spiritual ego.
19
I've come across a lot of people who are now on a spiritual path.
20
Not you Sadhguru.
21
Who consider themselves superior to people who are not on a spiritual path.
22
How would you advise such people to ensure that they don't fall a prey to this new spiritual ego?
23
We'll… first we'll address this ego guy, okay?
24
If you show me where it is, I'll fix it right now.
25
I wish I knew where it was, it just keeps coming suddenly.
26
No, you don't know where it is.
27
The thing is just this, see at certain moments, as a person,
28
as a woman, you are a beautiful person, wonderful person I mean.
29
I'm sorry, I didn't say only at certain times you're beautiful, you're always beautiful but certain times you're wonderful, all right?
30
Certain moments maybe you're nasty, possible.
31
So whenever you're nasty, you say, it's my ego.
32
Why don't you say, it's me, I'm sometimes wonderful, sometimes nasty.
33
If you see this, naturally nastiness will go down.
34
But if you say, whenever your nasty Mr. Ego does this, and you don't know where he is, you don't know his address or ID, nor do you know his phone number,
35
so how do you fix this guy?
36
So everybody has this going in their life, because this is spiritual jargon without being spiritual,
37
is all over the place, particularly in India.
38
Because we have, you know, fifteen, twenty thousand years of spiritual history, so we We know all the words, we know what atma, paramatma,
39
this one, that one, ahankara, everything we know, words only.
40
Words only, noted.
41
So we can just throw words like this and confuse the western population quite a bit.
42
Because if you come here they'll say mukti, shakti, this one, that one, all kinds of things.
43
I know a lot of people who've gone and set up spiritual centers in the west,
44
particularly in America because they just know one chant, just one chant.
45
Okay, asatoma sadgamaya, with this they run the whole thing .
46
So unfortunately, spirituality in some ways it's come there.
47
It's come there because there is need in the society, there is not enough source.
48
Because of that, people are manufacturing this here and there.
49
This happened, you know, a few years ago, fifteen, sixteen years ago.
50
And I was in United States and then somebody in the office, our office told me, Sadhguru,
51
did you know every day, hundred thousand people are typing out the word spiritual?
52
I said, is that so?
53
Type it out and see what comes out.
54
Are we even there in the picture?
55
They typed out spirituality.
56
First thing that comes up is a spa in Mexico.
57
You've been there.
58
And the next thing that comes out is a call girl in Northern California.
59
She has learnt all that SEO.
60
For everything she says spiritual, spiritual, spiritual, hundred and eight times she uses the word spiritual on our website.
61
You say spiritual, she comes up, number two.
62
I thought this is a shame.
63
For thousands of years, anything spiritual means people looked East.
64
East means India, that's what it meant.
65
So I said we must start something, a spiritual gateway, that if people say if they seek spirituality,
66
they must look towards India.
67
Because this This is one culture which has spent maximum amount of time
68
maximum amount of time exploring human consciousness and the mechanics of what a human being is,
69
how this functions on the surface and its very core.
70
How does this function?
71
What can we do about it?
72
This has been explored.
73
I'm not saying this out of my Indian origin, I'm saying this after looking at the world closely,
74
that nowhere else has it been looked at like this.
75
So, I said we must start a spiritual gateway, India the spiritual gateway, I must tell you this.
76
Till about fifteen years ago, I had not met a single guru in this country.
77
I just did not meet, I was just busy doing my own work.
78
I never thought I had to go and look for somebody, I had never been to any other ashram anywhere.
79
And then I thought, okay, let me make an attempt, then I started making phone calls.
80
They all received my call pretty well and then I started visiting some people and started putting together.
81
We had one meeting with 125 gurus.
82
We made this thing that nobody talks about their philosophy.
83
You keep your philosophy, this is just a meeting.
84
This is just about how to enhance your ashram or your yoga center, whatever you have, how to enhance the quality.
85
We will teach you management, we will teach you branding, we will teach you how to make a website, we will teach you how to present yourself to international community.
86
Your philosophy, we don't… we don't touch… you don't touch mine, I don't touch yours, you do your own thing.
87
Because that is the beauty of this culture, that it can exist in hundreds of forms, thousands of forms, and it's okay with us.
88
So when I went about doing this, well I met many wonderful people, but at the same time, at least sixty to sixty-five percent,
89
I… it hurts me to say this, I found that if I walk into an airport or a golf course,
90
I meet better men than in the so-called spiritual centers.
91
Because it's full of jargon, no heart, no depth, no profoundness, Simply one one chant, one one nonsense,
92
one philosophy that they read somewhere, it's going on like this, this needs to change.
93
So to bring this profoundness to people, as people get closer to me, I get harder and harder and harder.
94
Those who are very close to me, I am bloody cruel.
95
Yes, because just to bring integrity into spirituality is so hard.
96
Because the moment they get spirituality, little like you said you're calling it spiritual ego, I call it spiritual airs.
97
They get spiritual airs, air bubbles get in their head.
98
Suddenly they start acting funny, they start saying things that don't exist, they start talking about nonsense that nobody understands.
99
If you speak something, whatever nonsense you speak, people in front of you must understand.
100
Otherwise, why the hell are you speaking?
101
Because the purpose of speech is to make somebody understand what you're saying.
102
No, if I say something that you don't understand, I become big, you become small.
103
This is rubbish.
104
This is going on for too long.
105
So this whole spirituality as a thing, unfortunately has fallen on bad times,
106
but slowly it is rising because people's longing is increasing.
107
I must tell you this, forty years ago when I first started the programs, in our engineering programs in various different forms,
108
eighty-five percent of the people used to come to the programs only for health problems.
109
Only twelve, fifteen percent came to know something.
110
Today over 90% of the people come because they want to know something, experience something.
111
Only eight to ten percent.
112
Only eight to ten percent are coming for health issues, which is a significant change in human consciousness.
113
About this ego business, this is one thing we must settle.
114
See within you, is there only one person or two?
115
I think one.
116
You think one?
117
I'm going to go with one.
118
One.
119
That means you're an individual.
120
An individual means, the word individual comes from indivisible.
121
You're not further divisible, that's good.
122
You're an individual.
123
If you are two, then you either schizophrenic or possessed, Psychiatrist or exorcist?
124
I can't answer.
125
Either a psychiatrist or an exorcist has to come.
126
So this is very important, everybody settle this, that don't talk about atma, paramatma, ego, this one, that one.
127
You are an individual.
128
What kind are you?
129
Are you a wonderful one or a nasty one?
130
Fix the damn thing.
131
I'm sorry.

Grammar & Expressions in Context
Throughout the video, several grammatical structures and expressions stand out, which can provide valuable learning opportunities:
- Use of rhetorical questions: Sadhguru often poses questions to provoke thought, such as, “Do you still expect the world to be fair to you?” This structure is essential for engaging conversations and inviting responses.
- Conditional phrases: Phrases like “if you dig deep into yourself” illustrate conditional thinking, creating scenarios that help learners understand cause and effect in English.

Common Pronunciation Traps
While engaging with this video, English learners may encounter certain pronunciation challenges. Here are some critical words and phrases to focus on:
- Ego: Often pronounced with a strong emphasis on the "e," ensuring clarity in communication is vital, especially when discussing complex subjects.
- Fair: The vowel sound in “fair” can be tricky for learners, particularly for non-native speakers. Ensure a clear diphthong sound that combines both "e" and "a."
- Injustices: This word can be challenging due to its length and syllable stress; practicing it in isolation can aid in perfecting its pronunciation.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
